Work towards limiting them to become more productive: * Too much work in progress. (WIP) * Limit what you are working on to only a few (ideally 1) items at a time. * Unknown dependencies. * Poorly documented processes will turn a seemingly simple task into something complex. * Unplanned work. * Unstable systems/applications or "just do this quick thing" will eat up your day. * Conflicting prioritization. * Multiple people saying different tasks are critical. * Neglected work. (partially complete) * Focus and follow through tasks before handling someone's next critical item. Tools such as kanban boards can help with prioritization and focus on a few tasks at a time. ---- devops_wiki/time_thieves.txt Last modified: 2020/08/28 23:09by billdozor
